Doesn't seem much point when you can merge mine and get both at the same rate as if you were only doing one. Title: Re: Mining only namecoins Post by: Professor James Moriarty on May 17, 2013, 01:03:32 PM I mean if I only mine namecoin can I mine more? I have some saved up but not enough to withdraw from btc-e Title: Re: Mining only namecoins Post by: MrWizard on May 17, 2013, 01:04:57 PM I mean if I only mine namecoin can I mine more?

If you mine only namecoins you will not mine more than by a merged mining. Title: Re: Mining only namecoins Post by: FuzzyBear on May 17, 2013, 01:29:33 PM just MM on bitparking

You won't get more for doing it... well maybe some infinitesimal amount by less longpolls and whatever the stratum equivalent is for restarting when a block is found. So no real point to it.
